SUMMARY:"Magnetic Fields"\, will be shown by mέta\,  in a special screening at Mikrokosmos cinema\, on November 2nd\, 2022. Arrival time 19:30.
DESCRIPTION:Constantly pursuing the dialogue between art and political endeavour\, mέta\,  the Centre for Postcapitalist Civilisation proceeds with a series of films regularly screened in the multi-space facility of Mikrokosmos\, literally bringing in the centre of our attention a genre connected per se to this pursuit: cinema. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFree entry \n\n\n\nWith the kind contribution of Greek and foreign creators\, who\, quite often\, work in stifling conditions\, mέta proposes to a wider public significant\, recent film productions\, which visualise but also critically problematise various aspects of the multi-faceted crisis surrounding us\, as well as pinpoint emancipatory alternatives. For\, quite often\, optical language proves to be much more eloquent than numerous written pages\, in the depiction of societal reality – at times\, riveting.  \n\n\n\nThe film that will represent us at the Oscars\, “Magnetic Fields” by Giorgos Goussis\, will be shown by mέta\,  in a special screening at Mikrokosmos cinema\, on November 2nd\, 2022. Arrival time 19:30.  \n\n\n\nIn this beautiful and tender road movie\, Elena drives alone to an unknown destination\, when she unexpectedly embarks on the ferry to Kefalonia. There\, she will share her thoughts and life burdens with Antonis\, a man she meets by chance. The two of them begin wandering around the island\, looking for a nice place to bury a metal box that Antonis carries. \n\n\n\n— \n\n\n\nCREDITSDirection: Giorgos GoussisWriters: Giorgos Goussis\, Elena Topalidou\, Antonis Tsiotsiopoulos Director of photography: Giorgos KoutsaliarisEditing: Dimitris PolyzosMusic: Lefteris VolanisProduction: MiniFILMS\, Naked Eye Productions\, HereticProducers: Giorgos Goussis\, Marinos Sklavounakis\, Giorgos Karnavas Co-production: ECCStarring: Elena Topalidou\, Antonis TsiotsiopoulosRuntime: 78′Production Year: 2021  \n\n\n\n— \n\n\n\nAWARDSGolden Alexander Award (Film Forward)FIPRESCI Award Greek Association of Greek Critics AwardFirst ERT Award First Greek Cinema Centre AwardLocation Manager AwardThessaloniki Festival 2021Nominated for Best Film\, Debut Director\, Screenplay\, Best Actress\, Best Actor\, Photography\, Original Music AwardsIris Awards 2022  \n\n\n\n— \n\n\n\nThe screening will be followed by a discussion with the director and the film’s contributors. \n\n\n\n— \n\n\n\nmέta is a civil-non-profit research and cultural institution\, related to the political party MeRA25\, the European movement DiEM25\, and Progressive International. It was established in 2020\, aiming to explore eutopic alternatives to the postcapitalist era in which we are already living\, through academic and cultural actions regarding the political\, social\, economic\, ecological\, cultural\, and civilisational challenges of our times. \n\n\n\nCine Mikrokosmos (member of Europa Cinemas) was born in the fall of 2004\, on Syngrou Avenue\, opposite ex-Fix Industry\, equipped with state – of the – art technology and with a unique architectural approach. Having hosted numerous festivals and tributes\, without ever standing off from first-rate promotions\, committed to cinephile choices\, and particularly hospitable to independent Greek productions\, Mikrokosmos has created its own audience and is chosen for its ideal show conditions\, its careful selections\, and\, occasionally\, for its autonomous bar\, which operates in the foyer at affordable prices and cinematic ambiance. \n\n\n\nGeorge Goussis was born in Athens in 1986 and studied graphic design. He is one of the most famous Greek comic book artist\, and many of his graphic novels have been awarded and become bestsellers. In 2019\, he made his directing debut with the short documentary The “Arm Wrestler“\, which was awarded by the Hellenic Film Academy. “Magnetic Fields“ is his first feature film\, and he will soon be releasing The “Arm Wrestler“ as a feature film.  \n\n\n\nCinema Mikrokosmos Address: Leof.

SUMMARY:Left and ‘governability’: what engagement with power\, on which terms and for whose benefit?
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday 15 November\, 19.00\, in the Greek language\,at “Trianon” cinema (Kodringtonos 21) \n\n\n\nFree Admission | reservations: bit.ly/aristerakyv \n\n\n\nIn recent years the Left\, however we define it\, has attempted\, not only in Greece but also in other European countries\, to take up the challenge of governing in the midst of an unprecedented neoliberal attack on the subordinate classes. These ventures have been by and large a failure and no serious evaluation of them has been ventured in retrospect. There is ‘strategic silence’\, if not adherence to the principles of the opponent\, while the social strata in whose name the left speaks are plunged into degradation and passivisation\, subjected to the blackmail of supporting the ‘lesser evil’ or simply avoiding the notorious ‘ungovernability’. \n\n\n\nIn this light\, mέta | the Centre for Post-Capitalist Culture considers it urgent to return to the strategic debate\, repelled by the absorption of an increasingly repulsive “political current affairs”. A return to the theoretical conquests (and unanswered questions) of the Left\, as well as the invention in the new conditions of crisis of original forms of organization and political practice. \n\n\n\nIn this spirit\, mέta is organizing on Tuesday\, November 15\, at 19.00\, at the “Trianon” cinema (21 Kodrigtonos Street\, Athens 104 34) an event on “Left and “Governability”. \n\n\n\nSpeakers: \n\n\n\nSissy Velissariou\, Professor at the University of Athens\, Vice-Chair of mέta’s Steering Committee.Yannis Kouzis\, Professor at Panteion University.Alexis Smyrlis\, Director of MeRA25’s Policy Planning and Director of MeRA25’s parliamentary group.Panagiotis Sotiris\, PhD in Philosophy\, adjunct lecturer at the Hellenic Open University\, journalistThemis Tzimas\, PhD in Public Law\, lecturer at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki \n\n\n\nWith an in intervention by Yanis Varoufakis\, Professor at the University of Athens\, MeRA25 Secretary\, co-founder of DiEM25 \n\n\n\nModerator:Sotiris Mitralexis\, PhD in Political Science\, mέta’s research director
